Tests not detected with ASP.NET 5 Class Library

[richardmatsu]

Tried with Visual Studio test runner and the Console runner. The former simply does not detect any tests. If there's logs I don't know where they are. Within VS 2015 CTP 5, I am able to create a .NET 4.5 class library, create tests and Fixie detects and runs them as you'd expect. Likewise, the Console runner works with .NET 4.5 assemblies.

I also thought Fixie might work if I created .NET 4.5 outputs from the ASP.NET 5 Class Library project, but this also does not work.

With the Console runner, there is an assembly binding error:

Fatal Error: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Fixie, Version=1.0.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. File name: 'Fixie, Version=1.0.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'

Turning on the assembly bind failure logging gives additional, confusing information (at least to me):

=== Pre-bind state information ===
LOG: DisplayName = Fixie, Version=1.0.0.3, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null

@richardmatsu and I already discussed this over twitter, but if anyone else is reading this, support for ASP.NET 5 is planned but not implemented yet. Since ASP.NET 5 is a dramatic overhaul and is currently a moving target, we can't release something useful or stable for it yet. The xUnit team is facing a similar challenge, and at the time of this writing they cannot proceed until more is released by the ASP.NET team. See https://twitter.com/xunit/status/567775550433796096

Looks like progress has been made. Interested to see the same here. ;)

@plioi I can look into this if you're interested.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #145. ASP.NET Core support is really .NET Core support, and a great deal has changed there since this issue was first reported.
